In addition there will be two special editions of the game: the Collector’s and Apocalypse Editions. The Collector’s Edition, with a price-tag of £129.99, will include a figurine, a steel-book, an art-book and the soundtrack. While the Apocalypse Edition – priced at an impressive £349.99 — will add a huge wall scroll, three extra figurines and an amulet with a necklace.

Story-wise, THQ Nordic describes Darksiders III thus: “Earth is now overrun by the Seven Deadly Sins and the mystical creatures and degenerated beings that serve them. The Charred Council calls upon Fury to battle from the heights of heaven down through the depths of hell in a quest to restore the balance and prove that she is the most powerful of the Horsemen.” To keep up with the latest Darksiders III news, keep an eye on the game’s website.
